Moments that make me realize I’m becoming a functioning adult really freak me out. This past weekend I drove out to Beverly Hills to be put up in a hotel and put through an intensive working interview. I find myself to be enthused about being able to get back to work especially in a restaurant environment I’d seem to enjoy. To believe I’d give up funemployment this easily though— shocking. It was also around this time when I realized Halloween is literally around the corner and I have no idea what I’ll be. This might […]

Yes Woman! Why Saying “Yes!” Will Make You a Better Traveler
Sometimes silly things stick with you. Sometimes you study so hard you still remember the quadratic formula 7 years after needing it(negative ‘b’ plus or minus the square root of ‘b’ squared…) Sometimes you don’t try at all, but you remember every moment of a first date. Sometimes you remember truly silly things like a Jim Carrey movie you once watched that changed your life. Alright, so maybe Yes Man didn’t singlehandedly change my life, but it is one of those random things that lives in the back of my head. If you haven’t seen […]
Sunday Surfin’ 10.11.15
Living in a tourist city is living in a convenience store for entertainment. While often people in big cities must trek to the outer edges of their town for an event, Las Vegas is built around these events. I had first considered going to Wine Amplified a few weeks ago when I received an email for discounted tickets benefiting UNLV. I threw the idea around to a few friends, but being a currently unemployed college graduate the idea didn’t really click. Fast forward to this week and it all fell into place.I was in Vegas […]
Original Singapore Sling
One of my biggest life goals is to travel through time. So far it’s not looking very promising as Marty McFly has yet to appear on a hoverboard and it’s already 2015. Often when you travel you, you get lucky. I wasn’t sure what I expected to find in Singapore, I was setback when I realized I had stepped into the early 20th century. My sister and I wearing our casual and VERY 2000’s garb seemed out of place as we explored the refined Raffles Hotel. Singapore is a clean city. Remarkably clean. So walking into […]
Sunday Surfin’ 9.27.15
“How do you keep a wave upon the sand?” In great restless fashion I found myself back in LA this week. My mom had won some tickets to see The Sound of Music which just opened down at The Ahmanson. As an unemployed vagabond, it was the best excuse I could find to get back to my hometown. My little sister, the theater production major, joined us for the evening studying the show with a critical eye. But what’s a night out at the playhouse without a proper pre-theater meal? I can sense what you’re […]
Sautéed Apples & French Toast
This is not a breakfast blog. Seriously, breakfast isn’t even my favorite meal. Usually when I’m asked what I’d like for breakfast I respond with something odd like a salad or Thai curry. In my world, breakfast is hardly the most important meal of the day. Often it’s skipped entirely and forgotten like remembering to buy dog food when you’re at the store. That being said, I’ve been on a bit of a breakfast streak. I mean two full breakfast meals in one week? That’s practically unheard of. (Aside from the solid few weeks of […]
Sunday Surfin’ 9.20.15
All calendars should start with Sunday. That’s how my mind has been trained to recognize calendars. Yet my mind also sees Monday as the start of the new week. So what is Sunday? The beginning or the end? For me Sundays wind up being days of reflection for the previous week, but also stir up drive for the week to come. Somehow though I always go to bed with more motivation on a Sunday night than I wake up with on a Monday morning. Hm… Anyways, if you read my blog chronologically you will realize […]
5,000 Years of Culture Shock
The air is heavy in Israel. No, I’m not just talking about the humidity shock compared to my usual dry Las Vegas heat. Standing at the top of Haas Promenade, looking down across Jerusalem’s horizon I felt I could see through time. I realize how cheesy that may sound, but it really is something else to stand in a place countless people have fought for and continue to this day to fight for. Regardless of your religion or lack thereof, the world would not be the way it is today without the history of Jerusalem. […]
hello world.
It’s the middle of the night in an incredibly quiet part of Bergamo, Italy and I’m locked out of my hostel. The roar of thunder has been taunting me and just as I’m accepting my fate, it begins to pour. I ring the doorbell several times in hopes of attracting anyone’s attention, but in this Italian suburb, no one can hear you scream. I’ll expand how I ended up in this predicament in a later post. For now the wound is too fresh. Also, I’m not yet sure how it ends and I prefer to […]
